Unlocking the Canine Ancestral Diet

Healthier Dog Food the ABC Way

$17.95 U.S. - Unlocking the Canine Ancestral Diet

Steve Brown

Ancestors and canine cousins of our dogs didnt eat crunchy kibble or meat n gravy in a can. They ate what they found or caught... and it wasnt cooked or enriched either! It was high in protein, with balanced fats, and usually included a few fruits, vegetables and grasses. Steve Brown, an expert on canine nutrition, shows how you can bring the benefits of the canine ancestral diet to your dog by feeding him differently as little as just one day a week. And no, you wont need to lead a pack of dogs on a hunting expedition! Just follow Steve s well-researched and easy to follow ABCs to make improvements to whatever your dog currently eats.

The Complete Healthy Dog Handbook

Betsy Brevitz D.V.M.

The Complete Healthy Dog Handbook is a superb, reassuring, and comprehensive work. "Dr. Spock for dogs."Elle magazine wrote of its first edition, originally published as The Hound Health Handbook, and now completely revised and updated.

"The bible of dog care."AKC Gazette. "Four bones." "The go-to resource for keeping pups healthy and happy...Takes the guesswork out of caring for any kind of dog."Bookpage. "A definitive guide."The Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association. "The one book dog owners should not be without."Los Angeles Daily News. "I'm keeping this book on my bedside table."Cindy Adams.

Today's dog owners are more attuned to their pets' health and well-being than ever before. And with good reason: Americans spend upward of $10 billion annually on their canine companions. The Complete Healthy Dog Handbook is the one essential and truly readable book for these devoted dog owners.

Raw Dog Food

For centuries, wild dogs and wolves consumed uncooked meat, chewed and digested bones and ate the occasional veggie and plant. Over-processed, grain-based foods were not a part of their diet.

So why should your dog eat any differently than his ancestors?

Introducing Raw Dog Food, a book by Carina Beth MacDonald that will show you how to get your dog on the road to better health.

Youve certainly heard of the many benefits of a raw diet. And youve probably considered giving it a try. But you have questions and maybe some worries about its safety and cost. By reading Raw Dog Food, your fears will be alleviated, your views enlightened and your dog put on a path to long-term wellness.

Never feed a dog a bone? Yes, cooked bones can be dangerous and should be avoided but there are numerous types of raw bones your dog can chew, digest and benefit from with little risk of harm.

With a raw diet, how real is the risk of salmonella, e. coli and related illnesses? It can happen but remember dogs are physiologically equipped to deal with a much heavier bacteria load than we are with their short, very acidic, digestive systems.

Doesnt crunching on kibble keep your dogs teeth clean? Of course not. Dogs dont get cleaner teeth by eating kibble, any more than you will by eating cookies. All your dog gets is a lot of fermenting goop between his teeth.

Isnt a raw diet really expensive? No! Everything you need is available in your local grocery store. And if you stick to a wide variety of inexpensive meats and raw meaty bones your dog wont be missing anything nutrition-wise and your costs will be equal to or less than the better kibbles on the market.

Feeding your dog is easier than you think. Raw Dog Food will show exactly what you need, teach you how to get started and explain the positive changes youre sure to see in your dogs health.

Training the Best Dog Ever

Dawn Sylvia-Stasiewicz and Larry Kay

Training the Best Dog Ever, originally published in hardcover as The Love That Dog Training Program, is a book based on love and kindness. It features a program of positive reinforcement and no-fail techniques that author Dawn Sylvia-Stasiewicz used to train the White House dog, Bo Obama, and each of Senator Ted Kennedys dogs, among countless others.

Training the Best Dog Ever relies on trust and treats, not choke collars; on bonding, not leash-yanking or reprimanding. The five-week training program takes only 10 to 20 minutes of practice a day and works both for puppies and for adult dogs that need to be trained out of bad habits. Illustrated with step-by-step photographs, the book covers hand-feeding; crate and potty training; and basic cuessit, stay, come hereas well as more complex goals, such as bite inhibition and water safety. It shows how to avoid or correct typical behavior problems, including jumping, barking, and leash-pulling. Plus: how to make your dog comfortable in the worlda dog that knows how to behave in a vets office, is at ease around strangers, and more. In other words, the best dog ever.

Do As I Do (Includes DVD)

Claudia Fugazza

Train dog based on social learning? Yes! Recent research suggests that dogs can engage in social learning which includes the ability to observe the actions of other dogs and imitate them to learn new behaviors. The big news for dog trainers is that author Claudia Fugazza and her colleagues in Europe have discovered that dogs can also imitate people. This natural skill can be used to teach dogs new behaviors using the Do As I Do protocol presented in this book-DVD combination. The Do As I Do method is particularly useful in working with service dogs and canine athletes who must masters skills such as ringing a bell, jumping over a hurdle, spinning and dozens more.

Learn about:  The fascinating research which shows that dogs can observe, then imitate human behavior and remember it over time.  How you can start with a known behavior, then teach the dog to perform the behavior after observing you demonstrate it, followed by the new cue Do it! Eventually the dog learns that Do it! means to do whatever has just been demonstrated by the trainer.  How this method can build a closer bond between you and your dog, bring new energy and joy to your training efforts and challenge your thinking about how dogs learn.

Culture Clash

Jean Donaldson

Generations of dogs have been labeled training-lemons for requiring actual motivation when all along they were perfectly normal. Numerous other completely and utterly normal dogs have been branded as canine misfits simply because they grew up to act like dogs. Barking, chewing, sniffing, licking, jumping up and occasionally, (just like people), having arguments, is as normal and natural for dogs as wagging tails and burying bones. However, all dogs need to be taught how to modify their normal and natural behaviors to adjust to human culture. Sadly, all to often, when the dog's way of life conflicts with human rules and standards, many dogs are discarded and summarily put to death. That's quite the Culture Clash.

Behavior Adjustment Training

Grisha Stewart

Think functional to solve your dog's reactivity issues

Behavior Adjustment Training (BAT) was developed by author Grisha Stewart to rehabilitate and prevent dog reactivity. BAT looks at the function of growling, lunging, or fleeing and helps dogs learn socially acceptable behaviors that serve that same function. In a nutshell, BAT builds confidence by giving dogs a chance to learn to control their environment through peaceful means. That makes BAT very empowering to your dog or puppy, in a good way. It s also empowering for you, as you learn how to understand your dog and help him learn to safely get along with people, dogs, and other triggers.

You will learn:

How to encourage or shape a replacement behavior that provides your dog the same functional reward as reactivity.

Why it is important to keep your dog calm in the presence of a trigger while teaching him to make good choices.

Step-by-step instructions needed to stage BAT set-ups to work with your dog in a controlled environment.

Practical ways to keep your dog from being pushed into a reactive state in and around your home and on walks.

Intro to Home-Prepared Diets

Good nutrition is essential to your dogs health - and a homemade diet can be the best provider.
